This little spoon has three marks, all in a little square.

One mark with a the figure 10.

One mark with some leaves and the letters OE(?).

The makers mark with a star above the letters AB and a star under.

I ever saw a picture of Christofle somewhere but don't know to much about it and can't find it anymore.

If somebody will give some information, about the date or the makers-mark, thanks a lot!

I show the marks with two photo's.

In another topic (search function) there was information that depend Christofle, so I know now some more of it, but I still wondering how to recognize the object made by Christofle to place it in a period without the use of a date letter?

Thank you Mark for your reaction(s),also about the other two topics. Every reaction helps at this side. It's good to know that there are two books considering information by Argentor, perhaps some day I can find them over here,in Holland. I also like the bronce patterns from that period.

Good to know about the WMF server tray I didn't suspect about it's age but good to know. And the little spoon perhaps I will find out which maker it was some day.

Thanks for information from your side,
Andre.
